As the swimming pool operator, you have many tasks. There are three main obligations of a public swimming pool operator required by law. They are:
Collection and submission of water samples weekly for bacteriologic analysis.
Submission of operational report to the Oakland County Health Division at the end of each month.
Personnel readily available with 15 minutes.
Collection of weekly water samples is critical. As stipulated by Rule 325.2195 of Michigan Public Pool Rules, the local health department may require weekly sampling. The Oakland County Health Division will require that pool water must be submitted for testing each week for bacterial analysis. Sample bottles should be fresh and proper sampling techniques followed.
Drop-off sites are located at each Oakland County Health Division office. Several municipalities also have drop-off locations (as of January 7, 2008):
Farmington Hills City Hall
Troy Department of Public Works
Rochester Hills City Hall
Novi City Hall
Wixom City Hall
Madison Heights City Hall
Orion Township Department of Public Works

Please call ahead to verify pick-up times.
Operational Reports must be completed on a daily basis. These forms, available at Health Division offices, are used to record sanitizer residuals three times per day as well as pH, flow rates, cleaning, water temperature, and chemical addition. A copy must be sent to Oakland County Health Division at the end of each month of operation.
Qualified personnel must be available during all hours in which a swimming pool is open. This person must be available within 15 minutes of arrival. This individual should be responsible for testing water quality and operating equipment for water treatment and circulation.
